Standards
6.EE.7Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x+p=q and px=q for cases in which p,q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
Objectives
Students will write algebraic equations.
Students will se models to solve addition equation.
Students will use models to solve addition and subtraction equations.

The skill of solving an equation must be developed conceptually before it is developed procedurally. This means that students should be thinking about what numbers could possibly be a solution to the equation before solving the equation. For example, in the equation x + 21 = 32 students know that 21 + 9 = 30 therefore the solution must be 2 more than 9 or 11, so x = 11.
Provide multiple situations in which students must determine if a single value is required as a solution, or if the situation allows for multiple solutions. This creates the need for both types of equations (single solution for the situation) and inequalities (multiple solutions for the situation). Solutions to equations should not require using the rules for operations with negative numbers since the conceptual understanding of negatives and positives is being introduced in Grade 6. When working with inequalities, provide situations in which the solution is not limited to the set of positive whole numbers but includes rational numbers. This is a good way to practice fractional numbers and introduce negative numbers. Students need to be aware that numbers less than zero could be part of a solution set for a situation. As an extension to this concept, certain situations may require a solution between two numbers. For example, a probem situatation may have a solution that requires more than 10 but not greater than 25. Therefore, the exploration with students as to what this would look like both on a number line and symbolically is a reasonable extension.

Mathematical Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
